I have always just gotten my external hard drive, deleted my current backup and then added a folder for videos, documents, pictures, music and so forth. I would like to do it with a program though instead. What do you suggest?

hehe...k.
Im not sure if dragging C:\Users\Joseph would work. Because the folder inside would probably be shortcuts right?
Ive always opened the folders first, because I thought dragging would move them, not copy them.

Well, if you have shortcuts, then I don't think the actual files will be copied -- so if you have shortcuts to places outside of your Users folder, they will be broken.

But "moving" from one drive to another always copies, you can't "move" across drives.
